Climb a Mountain

Choose Take advantage of the freedom to design your own unique challenge. What will you pick?

Each mountaineering expedition is challenging and rewarding in its own way. The top of the lower 48 states and the Sierra spine of Mt. Whitney, the expansive glaciers of Mt. Baker, the active Mt. Shasta volcano — these are the unique and beautiful places that you’ll remember for a lifetime. Above all, every climb will create opportunities for at-risk and underserved youth to experience nature.
